Origins was designed to be a spiritual successor to BG and BG2.
Inquisition was not. And it's tactical camera was shit. I really like the game, but by god porting FROM console to PC is the absolute best way to f up your combat system and camera controls. Oh and the UI. UI for console game is usually tripe.
I think I only ever used the tactical camera during the dragon fights in Inqusition. And that was mostly because they jumped and flew all over the place and it was easier to keep track of.
Inquisition is such a mess of a game, because I really like parts of it, but it always falls short. The gameplay looks and feels good for a while, until you realize how limited it is at higher levels. As an exclusively PC player, the consoleification of the UI makes me want to rip my eyes out. The levels are beautiful and feel fun to explore... for the first hour. Then you realize you have 15 more shards to look for and a bunch of quests that need to be finished at the war table. Waiting for hours of real life time to finish an annoying sidequest feels wrong on so many levels.
The main story is just one interesting hook that falls flat after another, and the final boss fight is honestly one of the worst boss fights I've ever sat through. Corypheus was such a disappointing villain. Say what you want about DA2, at least the final fight with Meredith looked cool. The Solas reveal was neat and all but then you had to pay for the DLC ending that actually set up the plot for the next game.
I like most of the characters, but then their personal quests never really feel rewarding, and most romances felt awkward too. The returning characters from previous games are completely botched (a redemption arc for Cullen but Leliana becomes bitter and cold? Really?) and worst of all, there's NO ZEVRAN CAMEO.
...I still played it for like 200 hours tho.
